20 Times Sewer Workers Saw The Most Bizarre Things While Working Down There

Have you ever wondered what really goes on in your city's sewer system? Perhaps there's no evil clown or group of giant upright-walking turtles, but the mystery is still quite suspenseful, isn't it? Perhaps only those who work below our streets know the real answer. Thanks to them, 83% of Americans havea water supply in their homes.

But we also have them to thank for finding out what really goes on in the sewers. Underground workers have some pretty crazy stories to tell, and Bored Panda has collected the most shocking, gross, and surprising ones from two separate Reddit threads.

"What interesting things lurk just below our streets which are inaccessible to the public eye?" the people asked. And the answers had everything: clogged pipes, an occasional bowling ball, fully growing tomato plants, and, of course, people, in varying states of consciousness.
